A person who is 68in tall casts a shadow that is 54in long. At the same moment, a tree casts a shadow that is 18ft long. What is

34kurt

Answer:

<u>22.67 ft</u> is the height of tree.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Height of a person is 68 in and casts a shadow that is 54 in long.

At the same point, a tree casts a shadow that is 18 ft long.

Now, to find the height of tree.

Let the height of tree be $x.$

If height of a person is 68 in he casts a shadow of 54 in.

So, 68 in is equivalent to 54 in.

Thus, $x$ is equivalent to 18 ft.

Now, to get the height of tree by using cross multiplication method:

$\frac{68}{54} =\frac{x}{18}$

<em>By cross multiplying we get:</em>

<em /> $1224=54x$ <em />

<em>Dividing both sides by 54 we get:</em>

$22.67=x$

$x=22.67\ ft.$

Therefore, the height of the tree is 22.67 ft.

Part III: Find the unknown side lengths, AB and BC. HINT: Use either the Pythagorean Theorem or special right triangle propertie

yaroslaw [1]

The measurement of sides AB, BC, and AC will be 3 units,3 units, and 3√2 units respectively.

<h3>What is a right-angle triangle?</h3>

If any of its inner angles is 90 degrees, the triangle is said to be right-angled. Another term for this triangle is the right triangle or 90-degree triangle.

From the given triangle, it is observed that one of the angles is 90°, showing the given triangle is a right-angle triangle.

From the Δ ABC we found;

tan 45° = AB/BC

1=AB/BC

AB=BC

sin 45° = AB/AC

(1/√2)=AB/AC

AC = √2 AB

From the graph, it is observed that

AB=BC =3 units

AC= √2 AB

AC = 3√2 units

Hence, the measurement of sides AB, BC, and AC will be 3 units,3 units, and 3√2 units respectively.

A copy of a line segment will have the same measure or length as the segment.

The true statement is (4) They are congruent.

From the question, we understand that a copy of the line segment is created.

This means that the new segment has the exact property as the original line segment.

Hence, both lines are congruent, and the true statement is (d)
